Arena Racing Group (ARC), the UK’s largest racecourse group, boasting 21 venues and 16 premier racecourses nationwide, has launched ‘Step Into Summer’ – a Wellness-inspired experience at meetings and conferences this summer. 

The concept has been designed to help event organisers to boost delegate wellbeing by embracing outdoor experiences, connecting with nature, and discovering the rich heritage and history at each racecourse.

To ensure delegates can get their steps in and are engaged, each racecourse has designed a selection of measured walking routes, typically taking guests on a tour of each venue’s Grandstand Building, historic track, and notable sights. An example route at ARC’s Lingfield Park Resort in Surrey is a 30-minute 1.4-mile tour, which accrues around 3,400 steps.

For new bookings, each delegate will receive a complimentary racing ticket to enjoy the thrill of live racing. The ‘Step Into Summer’ day delegate package is valid for meetings and conferences at all ARC Racecourses from 1 April to 30 September 2024.

Julie Coates-Walker, Group Head of Sales at ARC, commented: “Event planners are increasingly aware of the profound impact of delegate wellbeing on the success of their events. Getting delegates outside and moving, embracing nature, and connecting with a venue’s heritage not only stimulates engagement but also nurtures attendees’ mental and physical health. Our new initiatives will help organisers and delegates to find rejuvenation away from the office, fostering deeper connections and enhancing the overall event experience.”
